And while that rationale could typically infer any number of on-ice lapses in sportsmanship and/or defense, it appears he suffered some strange freak injury to his eye.
Said Coach Randy Carlyle, via Chris Johnston of Sportsnet:
"It was one of those things that you'd like to take back in your life I think, when you do something stupid," Carlyle said before Tuesday's game against Buffalo. "It was crazy."
Even though doctors actually cleared Komisarek to play, Carlyle and the coaching staff elected to keep him off the ice as a precaution.
OK, so where did the fiberglass come from? If you guessed "surfing accident" … well, it's winter in Toronto, dummy.
Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star has this theory:
"It's believed a smashed stick incident led to the problem."
It's not clear whether Komisarek might have smashed a stick during practice on Monday. But Carlyle didn't appear to be all bent out of shape about it.
We'll just go ahead and assume Komisarek smashed a stick in a fit of rage, resulting in a chip being wedged in his eye. And not, like, someone taking a stick and smashing him in the face, although that would be an effective way to keep him out of the lineup.

Open to researchers.
[Identification of item], Robert Patterson Collection, MSC 28,Special Collections, Transylvania University, Lexington.
ca. .5 cubic.ft.
Robert Patterson was one of the founders of Lexington, Kentucky. In 1779 he lead an expedition to build a garrison in Lexington and it was there that he built a cabin that was to become known as the "first house built in Lexington." He was also involved in the settlement of Cinncinati. He was active in city and state politics, and was one of the first trustees of Transylvania University. He moved to Dayton, Ohio in 1803 where he died in 1827. Sometime after his death, Patterson's descendents moved the cabin he had built from Lexington to Dayton. In the late 1930s the "first house built in Lexington" was returned to the city for permanent preservation.
This is a collection of materials related to Robert Patterson. Present are legal documents including his will (1827) and a trustees deed to Lexington which names Patterson, Robert Todd, Samuel Blair, John Coburn, Robert Barr, James Parker, and Robert Parker as trustees. |b Information regarding the Patterson cabin, its removal to Dayton, Ohio, and subsequent return to Lexington are also present. Additional items include a guest book from the cabin (1930-1957) and photographs.

Back to the Future of Conservation: Changing Perceptions of Property Rights & Environmental ProtectionJonathan H. AdlerCase Western Reserve University School of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center Case Legal Studies Research Paper No. 05-16 NYU Journal of Law & Liberty, Forthcoming Abstract: Property rights hold a central place in our Constitutional design and provide the foundation for America's market economy. Admiration of private property has not been universal, however. Some environmental scholars and policymakers have been particularly critical of classical liberal conceptions of private property on both theoretical and practical grounds, suggesting that traditional, classical liberal notions of property rights are incompatible with the demands of environmental protection. These perspectives influenced the development of command-and-control environmental regulation in the 1960s and 1970s. In recent years, however, the perception of private property's role in environmental conservation has begun to change. Disregard for the rights and interests of property owners spurred a "backlash" of opposition to environmental regulation. Environmental policymakers also came to recognize that the incentives created by land-use may compromise some conservation strategies. These developments spurred a reconsideration of the role of property rights in environmental policy, encouraging the development of more property-friendly regulatory strategies as well as the use of property rights themselves as a tool for environmental protection.

The Cult of Grey Gardens
BY David Colman
March 04 2009 1:00 AM ET
Barrymore was also drawn to Little Edie's freewheeling way of saying one thing and then coming back with the completely opposite point of view. This fast-twirling yin-yang of contradictions is something most people might attempt to hide behind a cool and composed facade. Not Edie.
"I remember meeting with a studio executive once who said, 'Look, I read your script, and frankly, this is full of contradictions,'È'f;" Sucsy says. "That's one of the things that was so amazing about Drew -- how she was excited by that. She really understood."
The most frequent (and poignant) of the contradictions is Little Edie's wish to be married versus her desire to remain single and free. While superficially opposite, both betray the loneliness Edie felt as well as her sad suspicion that she was inherently too flawed to be loved.
The theme of contradiction is echoed in the house itself. Although broken-down and decrepit, Grey Gardens is right there in glamorous East Hampton, the cream of America's summer resorts, less than 200 yards from one of the nation's most desirable beaches. In many ways, gay people live that close to the country's culture and may even go to that beach; but we are, in other ways, still as far away as Little Edie was.
For all the heartbreak, though, the growing cult around Grey Gardens seldom dwells on the down spots, and the new film ends on a sweetly high note. Young gay men today are less likely to sing along to the bittersweet strains of "I Will Survive." Today's camp icons are characters like Cher Horowitz from Clueless , Elle Woods of Legally Blonde , and the gals from Sex and the City . So while there may not be much for them in the mother-daughter melodramas of yesterday, there's plenty for fashion-besotted 20-somethings to be had in Little Edie and her take on style.
And that style, Barrymore explains, has a mystery all its own. "Cat and I would have to freeze-frame [the documentary] to figure out how [Little Edie] pinned things," she says, referring to the film's costume designer, Catherine Marie Thomas. "One time, it took us forever to figure what she'd done. It was two shirts, one worn as a shirt and one worn as a skirt -- with the arms wrapped around for a belt. These were extremely theatrical people. Life was a stage."
Robb Brawn, custodian of the fan site MyGreyGardens.com , agrees that Little Edie's fashion sense was far from superficial. The two of them became friends in 1979, after Big Edie had died, Grey Gardens had been sold, and Little Edie moved to New York City to launch her long-dreamed-of, short-lived cabaret career. (She gave 16 performances at Reno Sweeney in the West Village.)
"To me, Edie's thing wasn't just that it's OK to be different -- and this was the 1970s, when it wasn't OK," Brawn says. "She was saying, 'I'm not just here to be accepted, I want to be celebrated.' They were happy in their own skin, she and Big Edie, being who they were, and that's what a lot of gay people relate to. We shouldn't have to explain why we're here or be tolerated or accepted. We're not all as philosophical as Edie, but we feel that way."
So why settle for Gloria, Mae, Joan, Bette, Judy, Rita, Katharine, Marilyn, Lana, Barbra, Faye, Liza, Sissy, Jessica, Meryl, or Madonna? Edie is all of them, stripped down to one sparkling, hilarious talent yearning to be loved and applauded.
And brimming over, as she always is, with the fervent hope that tomorrow will be different and with the nagging fear that it won't be, she is also, so clearly, all of us.

Title | Student food insecurity: The skeleton in the university closet |

Abstract | Aim: Food security is an important nutrition issue among vulnerable population groups such as the young and socioeconomically disadvantaged. The present study sought to identify and describe the prevalence, distribution and severity of food insecurity, and related behavioural adaptations, among a sample of Australian university students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design involving a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 39 food security-related and 15 demographic questions administered among a sample of university students. Results: A sample of 399 students completed questionnaires representing a response rate of 71.5% of students invited to participate. Sample demography was representative of the total student population except for being overrepresented by full-time and international students. Food insecurity was evident in the student sample ranging from 12.7% to 46.5% (based on method of analysis). Student food insecurity was significantly associated with those renting, boarding or sharing accommodation, with low incomes or receiving government assistance. Coping strategies developed by students focused on income generation and austerity measures, included living with parents, working more than 10 hours per week outside of university and borrowing money and food. Students who reported food insecurity were more likely to rate their overall health status lower than those who were food secure. Conclusion: The present study suggests university students are at significant risk of food insecurity in part attributed to inadequate income support. Further research is required to assess the broader determinants of food insecurity and appropriate strategy responses, including social support policies, in this population group. |

The head of the United Nations on Sunday named Sigrid Kaag to lead the UN's joint mission with the chemical weapons watchdog tasked with eliminating Syria's arsenal, diplomats said.
The UN Security Council, which is set to vote on Kaag's nomination Wednesday, has formally approved a first joint mission with the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made his appointment of Kaag known in a letter addressed to Azerbaijan's UN envoy Agshin Mehdiyev, who holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council.
The OPCW and the UN have had a team of 60 experts and support staff in Syria since October 1, destroying Syria's production facilities while the country's civil war rages on.
Kaag, a UN assistant secretary-general working at the UN Development Program, has served since 2007 as the regional director for the Middle East and North Africa with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Amman.
The mission she is set to lead must include about a hundred staff members and be based in Damascus, with a second base in Cyprus.
Kaag is charged with overseeing the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons stockpile by June 30, in line with a resolution passed by the Security Council last month.
She joined the UN system in 1994 after a stint in the Dutch Foreign Ministry.
Since then, she has also worked as a senior UN adviser in Sudan, with the International Organization for Migration and with the UN refugee agency UNRWA in Jerusalem.
Kaag, 52, speaks Dutch, English, French, German and Arabic.

The island of Sri Lanka has been known by many names throughout its history. Although early Iron Age culture was introduced to the island at the beginning of the First Millennium B.C.E., archaeological work in Sri Lanka has concentrated on large monastic settlements which were established in ca. 300 B.C.E - 300 C.E. and mark the spread of Buddhist influence over the island. Little attention has been paid to secular sites, or to Hindu, Islamic and Christian sites and structures. The challenge that lies ahead for the next generation of Sri Lankan archaeologists is the investigation of sites and regions that will provide a broader and more balanced picture of the island's past.

Washington, DC -- One week after terrorists attacked the United States, recovery efforts continue in New York and Virginia. Joe M. Allbaugh, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), visited the World Trade Center site today and pledged FEMA's continuing assistance and resources.
"This is going to take a ling time for us all to get over," said Allbaugh. "We just started the first funeral services for those brave men, starting with the chaplain. We're talking thousands of funerals. But I will say that if anyone can get through this our country can get through this."
Allbaugh will discuss FEMA's efforts today at a news conference scheduled for 3 p.m. EDT at Laight and West Streets in New York. Allbaugh will be joined by Rick Martinez, incident support team leader for Urban Search and Rescue in New York.
Highlights of the response efforts:
- Nine search and rescue task forces are working at the New York site.
Two more task forces are deploying today and four are being sent tomorrow.
At the Pentagon, three search and rescue task forces are on duty.
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is removing asbestos from
streets and buildings around the New York site, as well as cleaning debris
from more than 300 cars. EPA continues air monitoring and is establishing
additional air monitoring stations around the impact site and in New Jersey.
- Water sampling and air quality monitoring stations around the Pentagon
revealed no elevated levels of asbestos or contamination.
- Electric power is being restored in New York to streetlights and small
businesses and will be available to larger businesses on an incremental
basis as the electric grid can handle the load. Service is expected to be
available to all businesses by Saturday morning.
- US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) debris teams have provided assistance
to New York on debris removal issues. So far, the city has removed 45,000
tons to a Staten Island landfill. Engineers believe the task to remove
debris will take approximately 45 days to complete. The city has requested
that USACE provide 12 additional debris specialists. Currently, barges are
being loaded at two sites near Ground Zero. Two additional sites are being
- USACE has also provided a second Deployable Tactical Operations Center to
support New York Fire Department operations at Ground Zero.
- U.S. Forest Service Incident Management Teams are providing portable
shower units, a canteen and other services at the Jacob Javits Convention
Center to support US&R task forces.
- The U.S. General Services Administration has arranged for the use of 50,000 square feet of warehouse space in Bayonne, NJ, to store disaster recovery supplies and donations. Another 200,000 to 500,000 square feet of warehouse space is being sought in Connecticut.

Most California employers are keenly aware that California's Pregnancy Disability Leave Law ("PDLL") requires an employer to allow an employee disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, to take a leave of absence for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed four months. This same statute requires the employer to reinstate the employee to the same or a comparable position at the close of the pregnancy leave. In Sanchez v. Swissport, Inc., the court concluded that an employer's obligation to an employee disabled by pregnancy may extend well beyond providing a four month leave.
Ana Sanchez had been employed by Swissport for a year and a half when she was diagnosed early with a high-risk pregnancy requiring bed rest until birth. Swissport provided Sanchez with 19 weeks of leave consisting of her accrued vacation time as well as the four months permitted by the PDLL. At the expiration of 19 weeks of leave, Sanchez was unable to return to work and perform the essential functions of her position, even with accommodation and it was clear she would not return to work for at least an additional three months. At this point, Swissport terminated Sanchez' employment based on the reasoning that it had fully complied with the PDLL provision requiring pregnancy leave of up to four months, and based on the further belief that it was entitled to terminate an employee who could not perform the essential functions of her position, even with accommodation.
In litigation, Swissport defended its decision and focused on the "not to exceed four months" language in the PDLL. Swissport contended that the PDLL set the maximum leave it was required to provide a pregnant employee and therefore, it was entitled to terminate Sanchez at the conclusion of the pregnancy leave, if she was unable to return to work. The court quickly rejected Swissport's position. The court noted that the four month leave entitlement set forth in the PDLL is in addition to a pregnant employee's rights under the Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA"). The court concluded that while the PDLL provides an entitlement of up to four months of leave for an employee disabled by pregnancy, regardless of any hardship to the employer, under FEHA, an employee disabled by pregnancy is entitled to a reasonable accommodation—which may include leave of no statutorily fixed duration—provided that such accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the employer. In the court's view, Swissport erred by not engaging in an interactive process to determine whether a reasonable accommodation that did not cause undue hardship was available, and by not considering whether a leave through birth was such a reasonable accommodation. The court noted that the FEHC regulations interpreting FEHA specifically point out that an employee's right to take a pregnancy disability leave under the PDLL is separate and distinct from that employee's right to take a leave of absence as a form of reasonable accommodation under other provisions in FEHA.
Leaves of absence requests are one of the most vexing employment issues that employers are required to manage. An employee's leave of absence not only affects the ongoing functioning of the business, it also affects the workload and morale of other employees. The Swissport case is a reminder that a formulaic and rigid approach to managing leaves of absence, while tempting because it provides clarity, is never the right approach under the law. In each instance, the employer must evaluate all the bases on which an employee may be entitled to a leave of absence, including, statutorily defined leaves such as the PDLL, the California Family Rights Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. However, even if an employee has exhausted all the statutorily defined leaves, the employer must determine whether the employee qualifies as disabled and is therefore entitled to an additional leave of absence as a reasonable accommodation.

We enjoyed visiting the locations, and the tour guide was so much fun to be with.
The Imperial Palace was closed on weekend so it was replaced by a Temple visit instead. The Golden Pavilion is so magnificent, that i wished i could go back to photograph it during all four seasons. Nijo Castle was rich with the Samurai heritage, learned many historical facts about the castle and its Shogun.

STALEY, TEXAS. Staley is on Farm Road 946 in northern San Jacinto County about ninety miles north of Houston. The first recorded settlers there included Leck Durden and his former slaves, who moved to the area from Georgia after the Civil War. The settlement was known as Velpo and had a post office by that name between 1896 and 1898 and 1907 and 1908. The name was changed to Staley in honor of the community's new postmaster in 1913. During the early 1920s, however, former Houston resident Frank E. Embry came to the vicinity upon learning of oil discoveries in northern San Jacinto County, and the post office name was changed to Embryfield. The community's population was estimated at ten in 1925. Its post office was discontinued in 1941, and for several years thereafter the names Staley and Embryfield were both used in reference to the community, but Staley eventually dominated. A few scattered buildings were erected at the isolated settlement during the 1960s, probably because of growth in San Jacinto County and the completion of nearby Lake Livingston. The population of Staley was reported at thirty in the early 1990s.

I saw a sweater like this in the 604 record store for one of my favourite bands, Marianas Trench, but it was sold out so I decided to make my own.
I put the band name the other way around on the sleeve then they originally had it and I put Fix Me on the back instead of the front because of the way the sweater was, but I've been dying to have one of these for more than a year! Took a long time to find a good sweater :)
Super happy with how it came out!

Creator: | Pierce, Jim, 1925- |
Creator: | Finger, William R. |
Title: | Oral history interview with Jim Pierce, July 16, 1974 |
Date: | 1974 July 16 |
Description: | Jim Pierce grew up near Ponca City, Oklahoma, during the late 1920s and 1930s. Pierce begins by speaking briefly about his experiences growing up in Oklahoma, paying particular attention to his Cherokee heritage, his education, and his father's involvement in the AFL. Pierce describes how he attended "anti-CIO" meetings with his father during the 1930s, which piqued his interested in labor politics. During World War II, Pierce served in the Navy and developed a worldview that tilted his interest in the labor movement more towards the "militant" side he had been indoctrinated against as a child. Following the war, Pierce began to work for Western Electric, and by 1947, he had moved to Fort Worth, Texas. Along with his fellow workers, Pierce joined the small local union called the National Federation of Telephone Workers. Not associated with a national organizing force like the AFL or CIO, this small union was typical of organization for workers such as he during these years. Pierce participated in a six-week-long strike with his union in 1947. The workers were victorious and shortly thereafter they joined the CIO. Around that time, Pierce became a leader in the local union as a strategy to keep his company from transferring him away from his ill wife and their infant child. From there, Pierce joined the staff of the CIO and worked in Texas, organizing local unions for the CIO until 1954, when the merger with AFL occurred. Pierce's growing interest in the civil rights movement and his continuing adherence to the more radical principles of labor politics prompted him to go to work for the International Union of Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers (IUE) at that point. Pierce remained in Texas for several years, organizing locals for the IUE, before taking a more regional approach. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Pierce spent much time organizing workers in Florida for IUE and relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina. During the 1960s, Pierce continued to work with IUE, but through the jurisdiction of the AFL-CIO's Industrial Union Department (IUD). From 1963 to 1968, Pierce was the regional director of the IUD's effort to organize textile workers in the Southeast. In particular, he focuses on the brief effort of the IUD to organize migrant workers in Florida. Pierce had become increasingly interested in the problems of migrant workers during his career in the labor movement, and the decision of the IUD to halt its effort at organizing this group was a major factor in his decision to leave the IUD in 1968. Pierce concludes the interview by discussing his disillusionment (and simultaneous belief) in the labor movement, his thoughts on the future of labor activism and organization, and his work with the National Sharecroppers Fund during the late 1960s and the early 1970s. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |

If you're new to RF and things like signal strength measurements (dB, dBm, RSSI, etc.), the following whitepaper may be helpful: Converting Signal Strength Percentage to dBm Values
Decibals (dB) are used to indicate the ratio of one power level to another. An increase of 3dB doubles the power, so 6dB is equal to 4x the power, 9dB is equal to 8x, etc.
The specific formula is: dB = 10 * log(P1/P2), meaning that for a 4 times difference in power we get:
dB = 10 * log(4/1) dB = 10 * 0.602 dB = 6.02
The following table shows some key values comparing decibels (dB) and their equivalent increase/decrease factor:
dBm is used to indicate transmit and receive sensitivity in milliwatts, and is the power ratio in decibels (dB) of the measured power referenced to one milliwatt (the m in dBm). 0dBm is equal to 1 milliwatt. The following two formulas govern the relationship between dBm and mW:
To convert dBm to mW: P(mW) = 10[P(dBm)/10]
To convert mW to dBm: P(dBm) = log[P(mW)] * 10
For example, if we start with 13dBm, we get the following equivalent value in milliwatts:
mw = 10^[13/10] mw = 10^1.3 mw = 19.953 (or roughly 20mW)
We can also convert 20 mW back to dBm as follows:
dBm = log[20] * 10 dBm = 1.301 * 10 dBm = 13.01
Some common value can be seen in the table below:
For more information, feel free to look at the Wikipedia pages for decibels and dBm.

[ CyberScape | Santa Cruz | MetroActive Central | Archives ]
Game Boys
For Santa Cruz's small but growing community of computer game developers, the coin of the realm is big ideas more than big money
By Rob Pratt
THIS ISN'T just a game. At least that's what I think as Michael Bartlow of Santa Cruz game developers Osiris Studios shows me a prototype of one of the company's latest projects. On a computer monitor deep in the warrenlike offices on the second story of a historic Pacific Avenue building, two computer-generated figures shift their body weight side to side. Bartlow, who is the company's audio director, grabs a controller, moves one of the figures around in the desolate game space--background graphics haven't been added yet, so all I can see is just basically a black backdrop--and tells me about the difficulties of making art imitate life.
I get the feeling that the challenge of bringing the computer to a kind of life is what drives Bartlow and the handful of others at Osiris Studios who are creating the next generation of video games. More than churning out mass-marketed diversions, the pursuit of the ultimate game experience is about teaching computers how the world works. In the same way that quantum physics uses advanced mathematics to model the universe, Santa Cruz's small community of game developers uses computer code to break down and describe human gestures and to create in ever-increasing detail entire worlds.
For now, though, the big problem is how to get the upper and lower half of a figure to move independently. Most games like the new one Osiris is working on only handle motion either above the waist or below it--not both simultaneously. With some tricky coding, Bartlow explains, he thinks the programming wizards at Osiris can make it work.
Next door, in the conference room, company president Quinn McLaughlin sets up the big new thing in video gaming, Sega's just-released next-generation console system, Dreamcast. Bartlow and I settle in around the conference table as McLaughlin boots up Soul Calibur, a sword-fighting game set in vivid otherworldly landscapes. Osiris' creative director, Jason Kaehler, comes in and takes a seat at the edge of the room and marvels at the graphics. Judging from his sense of admiration, it's obvious that he has spent many hours playing and analyzing the new gaming console.
"That's all real-time 3D," Kaehler says. The scene as McLaughlin plays swivels around in perspective instead of moving only left to right, dioramalike, as in most console games before Dreamcast. "It used to be that all 3D had to be prerendered and played like a movie clip. Now the hardware can do it real time."
Things are moving quickly with the computer's ability to render real-world scenes, he says. And the end is in sight--the point where computers can render the virtual world as vividly as the real world.
"At a workshop I was at recently, the speaker explained that by the year 2020, computer graphics will reach the color and resolution limits of the human eye," Kaehler adds. "And that's as far as you can go."
In the intent eyes, the baggy clothes and the rush of enthusiastic, idealistic talk from local game developers, I start to think that I have glimpsed a new face of industry in Santa Cruz. Where the high-tech scene on the other side of the Summit by all accounts is a crush of overachievers scrambling to secure venture capital and stock options, the scene in Santa Cruz is more laid-back, more focused on working with a spirited and creative team than earning enough to retire by age 35. In Santa Cruz, the currency is big ideas more than big money, and in the new local economy, a quest to render in precise detail the human imagination is entirely in keeping with the scale of things.
IN THE SPACE of only a couple of decades, the computer gaming industry has bested the dominant entertainment medium of the 20th century, pulling ahead of the film industry in total sales. For 1999, that means several billion dollars were spent on computer games, whether complex PC-based games like the recent runaway hit Half-Life, console games like PlayStation's future fighter franchise Tekken or hand-held diversions like GameBoy's Pokémon.
Compared to the movie industry, though, the computer games industry has just toddled out of its infancy. No longer curiosities akin to quickly produced silent shorts that play at nickelodeons, they are now more like the first full-length films, with ambitious sets and stunts, a devoted fan base for dozens of genres and a level of glamour that has turned gaming characters like Tomb Raider's Lara Croft into virtual stars.
Only in the past couple of years has technology advanced to the point where computer games approach as immersive an experience as a showing of the latest James Bond thriller on the big screen with THX sound.
With this year's debut of Sega's Dreamcast console, which offers dazzling graphics on a level with the high-powered 3D rendering until now only available on PCs, and with Sony claiming that PlayStation 2 (set to hit store shelves in fall 2000) will leapfrog the capabilities of most home PCs, computer gaming is potentially poised at the brink of a megaboom beyond anything the entertainment industry experienced during the 20th century.
"This year it will be more than a $7 billion industry," explains Christian Svensson, chief executive officer and editor-in-chief of MCV: The Market for Home Computing & Videogames, one of the leading trade publications of the computer games industry. ("We think of ourselves as the Variety of computer games," he adds.) "In many ways, it has become a much more acceptable form of entertainment. It's much more pervasive, more people are doing it. Now there are more than 34 million households that play some sort of computer game."
In Santa Cruz County, computer gaming is a nascent industry. Small studios specializing in 3D computer graphics have turned their attentions to developing computer games. Osiris Studios, which is set to move into new Pacific Avenue offices on the second story of the Cooper House, has just inked a deal to work on PlayStation titles with powerhouse console gaming publisher Acclaim Entertainment Inc.
IN THE CRAMPED current offices of Osiris Studios, McLaughlin shows me into the main production area, a space of no more than a couple hundred square feet. Before I left the conference room, McLaughlin had me sign a nondisclosure agreement, and Kaehler and other Osiris staffers looked at me wide-eyed as I walked into the main development and programming room until McLaughlin explained that I'd been "NDA-ed."
The half-dozen people in the room are all fairly young. McLaughlin and Kaehler, just hitting 30, are right at the average age of company staffers. All of the table space ringing the room is cluttered with computer monitors, some flashing the game prototype, and one, Andrew Webster's, showing full-body "skins," or body and facial features for game figures that he's designing. Kaehler tells me that they are working to meet a benchmark where they must demonstrate for a client certain elements of game playability. They've just got everything working, and he hands me a controller to let me see for myself that it actually plays--though sluggishly.
Right now the team is focusing on "physics," or the way objects move around in the virtual game space, and "collisions," the way objects interact with each other. They're both part of one of the most complicated problems of game development: how to make movement seem natural with a given set of hardware capabilities.
For console game developers--groups that work on games designed for stand-alone home gaming devices like Sony's PlayStation or Nintendo's N64--that also means that fledgling startups like Osiris can use the limitations to advantage. While PC game developers must contend with user hardware that continually changes as new PC products become available, console developers know exactly what hardware users will have in their system. Bartlow explains that programming savvy and imagination--more than a handle on this month's gee-whiz hardware gadget--make the difference in console games.
"It's really that last 2 or 3 percent of software performance that can make a game really play well," he says. "To get that, you just have to come up with tricks to do things more efficiently."
Unlike PC games, Bartlow explains, console games don't have the advantage of an operating system like Windows 98 to take care of basic tasks like reading information from a CD-ROM disc. For its recent projects, Osiris has to build the "game engine," or the core part of the software code, as well as outlining game play and designing the graphics.
Osiris, though, didn't start out designing full-fledged games. Like most area start-ups involved in games projects, the company first worked on 3D graphics, beginning as a contractor on larger projects and gaining experience with the development process.
The first game prototype Osiris developed was a speculative project, a mountain-biking game for PlayStation called Fall Creek and named after a now-
I WALK INTO the offices of 3D graphics group Virtual Alchemy Studios and find creative director Rennie Saunders flat on his back, eyes shut, listening to an ambient CD of music by Dead Can Dance chanteuse Lisa Gerrard. He gets up quickly as I apologize for interrupting his nap.
"Doing this for the past year and a half, I've gotten pretty good at taking micro naps," he says.
Outside his office on the second floor of a Soquel office building, programmers and designers are moving around furniture and computers and wiring up equipment. A Pac Bell technician is frustratedly trying to find the culprit who tied up the main voice line with an Internet connection so that he can finish setting up a high-speed data line.
"We really came together around building a game," Saunders says. "But none of us had any experience in doing one, so we thought, 'Let's do a lot of these other things to get ready.' It's building up our skill base."
Much of the work Virtual Alchemy has done is to produce 3D computer animations that large companies use as part of presentations or demonstrations at trade shows. But even though the company's game project doesn't have a formal timeline right now, staffers get together regularly to fine-tune their vision.
"The next thing we're going to do is design levels for Half-Life," he says. (One of the features of the bestselling PC game is a "level editor" that allows skilled game players to design their own game components.) "Sometime you get people playing games with the door closed, and when you pound on the door, they yell out, 'I'm doing research.' "
The company's big recent project was to put together a bunch of simple 2D games for children 5 to 11. The finished product has earned a lot of enthusiasm from their client, Lasertron (which makes arcade skill games), and from amusement park and resort customers. Next up, says chief executive officer Karen Stewart, is a project involving the company's game engine and real-time 3D graphics rendering.
CHRISTIAN SVENSSON of MCV magazine explains that the turning point for the computer games industry came with Sony's introduction five years ago of the PlayStation. The electronics and media giant had been working on building a CD-ROM drive for the next generation Nintendo console. When the deal fell through, Sony decided to build and market its own console. It looked like a flop waiting to happen--Sony Imagesoft, a computer games subsidiary, had "produced zero hits," Svensson says. But PlayStation had a "brilliant" marketing campaign that "made Sony sexy and chic."
Basically, Svensson continues, Sony made it easy for third-party developers to write and publish games for the PlayStation platform.
"Sony did a great job of evangelizing their system, and they ended up with a whole lot of games," he says. "At the outset, that was the right policy: to be friendly to publishers. Also, using CD-ROMs [as opposed to RAM cartridges that had been standard on console games until then] was technically risky but ended up costing a lot less. If you're doing a game of 100,000 units with a RAM cartridge, the cost for each is $8 plus $7-$9 in licensing, and that's about $1.7 million in the hole right from the start. A CD-ROM--including packaging--is about $1.75 a unit."
Like the film industry, Svensson says, the games industry has quickly become the province of large publishers with enough money to finance development and to underwrite marketing and distribution. Most of the time, small game-development studios get their start just as Osiris did: doing contract work to build up a skill base, eventually getting the nod from a large publisher to go ahead with a full-scale project.
"The licensing and engineering costs run into the millions of dollars," Svensson says. "It's really difficult for the guy in the garage to create the next big hit. Every once in a while, though, there is a Blair Witch Project that comes along. But it's becoming very difficult to compete from a garage standpoint."
Perhaps the biggest difficulty, explains Osiris' Kaehler, is coming up with the buy-in capital. Even before taking its first job, Osiris had to find investors who could lay out money to buy the hardware and software needed to start programming and developing graphics. For console game developers, the major costs don't end there.
"You have a steeper barrier to entry because the hardware manufacturers control the show," he says. "You have to go before the emperor of Sony, and that's where soft science comes into play. You have to show them your company profile, where the company is in relation to the console's product cycle. Then you have to buy the programming environment, and that's about 20 thousand."
'GAMES HAVE SUCH a tough skill-set area," says Gaben Chancellor of Dramatis, a 3D computer graphics studio that over the summer designed a game demo for Creative Labs based on the Unreal PC game. "You have to have a strong technical base, and you have to be artistic and creative. There are a lot of people out there who have plenty of technical skills but not the creative side, so you end up with a lot of 'me too' games that just repeat what was popular last year. That's why we don't have a lot of games that are creative."
The Santa Cruz area, with a close proximity to Silicon Valley and a strong arts community, certainly has potential for developing a strong pool of games developers, Chancellor continues. But the games industry as a whole doesn't have a locus the way the movie industry centers on Hollywood. Ultimately, say Santa Cruz game developers and computer graphics professionals, the booming new entertainment industry works like anything else in the Internet economy--it comes down to who you know.
"The fact is that the availability of bandwidth and interconnectivity make it so that Silicon Valley isn't really the hub of gaming," Chancellor says. "Neither is Los Angeles or San Francisco. Places like Austin have strong game developer scenes--San Diego, too.
"It's all about contacts in this business," he continues. "Just because you're in Silicon Valley doesn't give you a leg up on who's doing what where and when."
Still, it's an industry that's open to outsiders. With a culture founded by tinkerers working in garages and ramping up their big ideas into multinational corporations, the high-tech industry remains enticing to people with skill and savvy.
"I have a brother-in-law up north who just designed a traditional board game," says Steven Beedle, president of the Santa Cruz Technology Alliance. "He's having all kinds of trouble getting noticed, and what he's discovering is that he would have been better off making a computer game first. It seems that computers are so hot now that it's open to everybody. I think it's definitely more welcoming to outsiders than older industries."

In the effort to reduce the operating budget by more than $1 million by the end of the current school year, Superintendent Bob Hastings is asking for the School Board's and the union's approval to take an unusual approach.
Rather than eliminating approximately 50 jobs district-wide, as previously proposed, Hastings has found a more creative means.
"We're going to ask all employees to take three days off without pay," Hastings told the Board.
A survey of Cedar Key's 158 streetlights is 75 percent complete, Public Works Coordinator Josh Wilson reported at Tuesday evening's City Commission meeting.
The survey is looking at three factors: whether or not each light works, supplies appropriate illumination, and hangs at an effective height. Twelve to 15 percent of the lights surveyed so far require repair.
The commission discussed lumen footprints, and the negative effects of light pollution.
A representative from Skyway Towers visited the Cedar Key Commission last week to propose the addition of a cell phone tower.
Scott Behuniak focused on several key reasons why the Commissioners should partner with Skyway Towers, including the obvious improvement to community wireless coverage, the enhancement to current municipal communications such as emergency responders, and the revenue generated for the City.
Last week the City Commission unanimously passed Resolution 293 supporting the "continued opening" of Cedar Key Museum State Park.
The resolution states that the museum's status as a tourism attraction that draws needed commerce to the area as well as the entertainment that it gives community members justifies keeping it open.
"[I]n these difficult economic times, the City cannot afford to lose any tourist attraction," states the resolution.
Donna Tanck once took a stained glass art class that changed her life and that of her husband, Dave. Donna recalled that while she and Dave were restoring an old house in Minnesota where they lived for 17 years, she wanted to learn how to create a stained glass window to complement the design of the house.
They sold the house and moved before the window was made but Donna fell in love with glass and never looked back.
To choose or not to choose, that is the question! There are a number of factors to consider between seeds and transplants. The main consideration is how well a plant will survive the transplant process. In other words: transplant-ability. Some plants could care less, such as broccoli, cabbage, peppers, tomatoes and cauliflower. Other vegetables such as carrot, English and Southern peas, beans, melons and turnips have a hard time surviving transplant.
The Cedar Key Fire Department welcomed its newest addition last week with the arrival of Marine 75, a boat that will be used to rescue people on the water and fight coastline fires, according to Fire Chief Robert Robinson.
"We've been trying to get a boat for ten years," Robinson said. "This will be great for our community."
Some decades back, I arrived in the Cedar Keys not really sure where I was going. A new company was in my mind and I needed a place without hustle and bustle to relax, think and plan. Heading north up the west coast of Florida on Route Nineteen, I turned left on any hard surfaced road looking for the Gulf of Mexico. Known even then by the nickname "Trouble", I crossed Number Four Bridge after an arduous drive from nowhere onto the Cedar Keys, miles out in the Gulf.
Thanksgiving is over and now it is off to Christmas. Before you know it, it will be New Year's Day. Where did all the time go?
Funny how your mind works, but twenty years ago I never envisioned living in the year 2009. Actually, I never envisioned being over sixty-years-old… but here I am and I'm still not retired.
Several years ago I looked forward to the day I could retire. Hah, that didn't happen. I must have been having pipe dreams, thinking I could retire at age sixty-two.
To locals, it's a major visitors' attraction but to the state of Florida, it's one of 19 state parks that doesn't draw enough revenue to keep it open.
The Cedar Key Museum has been proposed to temporarily close public access by the Department of Environmental Protection Division of Recreation and Parks.
The proposal comes in the midst of the state's current budget crisis. Gov. Charlie Crist has asked all state agencies to submit plans to reduce annual operating budgets by up to 10 percent.

Top-ranked recipe named "Girl Scout Cookie Do-Si-Do Temptation"
Try this Girl Scout Cookie Do-Si-Do Temptation recipe, or contribute your own. "Corn" and "Pies" are two tags used to describe Girl Scout Cookie Do-Si-Do Temptation.
Place the banana liqueur in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Place the bowl over simmering water until the gelatin is completely clear. Set aside. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and allow to steep while preparing the yolk mixture. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks while gradually adding sugar. When the yolks have lightened, whisk in cornstarch. Strain the cream and allow it to cool slightly. Gradually pour it into the yolk mixture while stirring. Return to a clean saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat and continue to stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in the gelatin mixture and incorporate thoroughly. Allow the pastry cream to cool completely. Slice two of the bananas on the bias and brush with lemon juice. Spread peanut butter on bottom of Baked Pie Crust, then spread Chocolate Mousse on top of peanut butter, then top with a layer of bananas and about 1/3 cup cookie crumbles. Top with banana custard. Just before serving, top with 1/3 cup of cookie crumbles and chocolate chips. With pastry bag, pipe whipped cream on pie. Slice the third banana (you may not need all of it) and arrange slices on top in a circle, then sprinkle with chocolate chips and additional cookie crumbles. This makes a very rich pie; thin slices are called for. You will have leftover banana-flavored pastry cream, which you could pour into tart shells or layer with the leftover crumbles in tall parfait glasses, topped with additional chocolate chips, cookie crumbles and whipped cream.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
The small intestine is a tubular structure within the abdominal cavity that carries the food in continuation with the stomach up to the colon from where the large intestine carries it to the rectum and out of the body via the anus. The main function of this organ is to aid in digestion.
As a person grows the small intestine increases 20 times in length from about 200 cm in a newborn to almost 6 m in an adult. The length of the small intestine is approximated by three times the length of the infant, or height of the child or adult.
The duodenum is about 25 cm (10 inches) long; the jejunum is about 2.5 m (8 feet) long and the ileum is about 3.6 m (12 feet) long.
The small intestine begins with the duodenum. The duodenum begins at the duodenal bulb and goes around the head of the pancreas and ends as it returns to the peritoneal cavity at the ligament of Treitz. The peritoneal cavity is a thin membrane cavity that covers the organs within the abdomen with some exceptions.
The remainder of the small intestine is suspended within the peritoneal cavity by a thin, broad-based mesentery that is attached to the posterior abdominal wall. This allows free movement of the small intestine within the abdominal cavity.
After the duodenum comes the next 40% of the mobile small intestine called the jejunum. The remaining 60% is the ileum.
The jejunum occupies the left upper portion of the abdomen while the ileum is positioned in the right side and upper part of the pelvis.
The inner walls of the small intestine show mucosal folds. These are called the plicae circulares. The plicae are more numerous in the early jejunum and reduce in numbers in the later part and are completely absent in the ileum.
Absorption takes place via primary cell type of the epithelial layer. Goblet cells, located throughout the epithelial layer, secrete mucus that helps protect the epithelial layer from digestion.
Enteroendocrine cells secrete hormones into blood vessels that penetrate each villus. Paneth cells, located in the epithelial layer facing the intestinal crypts, secrete lysozyme, an enzyme that destroys bacteria. An inner core of lamina propria (connective tissues) contains blood capillaries and small lymphatic capillaries called lacteals.
The submucosa under the mucosa contains Brunner's (duodenal) glands, found only in the submucosa of the duodenum. It secretes an alkaline mucus that neutralizes the gastric acid in the incoming chyme.
Aggregates of lymphoid follicles are scattered throughout the small intestine but are found in highest concentration within the ileum, where they are designated Peyer's patches. These are more prominent among children and infants. The small intestine ends at the ileocecal valve that leads it to the colon. The ileocecal valve provides a barrier to the back flow of the colonic contents into the small intestine.
The wall of the small intestine and colon is composed of four layers: mucosa (or mucous membrane), submucosa, muscularis (or muscularis propria), and adventitia (or serosa).
The small intestine is the part of the intestines where 90% of the digestion and absorption of food occurs, the other 10% taking place in the stomach and large intestine. The main function of the small intestine is absorption of nutrients and minerals from food.
Digestion involves two distinct parts. The first is mechanical digestion by chewing, grinding, churning and mixing that takes place in the mouth and the stomach. The second part of digestion is the chemical digestion that uses enzymes, bile acids etc. in order to break down food material into a form that can then be absorbed, then assimilated into the tissues of the body. Chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine (and, to a lesser extent, also in some other part of the gastrointestinal tract.
Proteins, peptides and amino acids are acted upon by enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, secreted by the pancreas. This breaks them down to smaller peptides. Chemical breakdown begins in the stomach and continues until the large intestine.
Enzymes, like lipases secreted from the pancreas, act on fats and lipids in diet. This breaks the triglycerides into free fatty acids and monoglycerides. It is helped by bile salts secreted by the liver and the gall bladder. The lipase is soluble in water but the fatty triglycerides are not. The bile salts hold the triglycerides in the watery environment until the lipase can break them into the smaller parts that can enter the intestinal villi for absorption.
Carbohydrates are broken down to simple sugars and monosaccharides like glucose. Pancreatic amylase breaks down some carbohydrates to oligosaccharides as well. Some carbohydrates and fibers pass undigested to the large intestine where they may, depending on their type, be broken-down by intestinal bacteria.
Once broken down the nutrients are absorbed by the inner walls of the small intestine into the blood stream. The nutrients are rendered small enough so that they may pass, or "be transported", across the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract. The nutrients are absorbed by processes of simple/passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, primary active transport, or secondary active transport.
The small intestine is good for absorption since it has a large inner surface area. This is formed due to the plicae circulares which project many tiny finger-like structures of tissue called villi. The individual epithelial cells also have finger-like projections, which are called known as microvilli.
For transport, nutrients commonly rely upon:
Other absorbed substances in the small intestines include:
Most of the water in ingested food and beverages is absorbed by osmosis.
Approximately 80% is absorbed by the small intestine, 10% by the large intestine and the remaining 10% excreted in the faeces.
Of these sodium is absorbed by diffusion and active transport. Chloride (Cl-) is absorbed passively along with sodium or actively transported. Iodine (I-) and Nitrate (NO3-) can passively follow Na+ ions or are absorbed actively. Calcium ions (Ca2+) are absorbed actively in a process stimulated by calcitriol (active form of Vitamin D). Iron ions (Fe2+ and Fe3+), Potassium ions (K+), Magnesium ions (Mg2+) and Phospate ions (PO43-) are absorbed by active transport mechanisms.
Vitamins including fat soluble ones (Vitamins A, D, E and K) are absorbed together with dietary fats. Water soluble vitamins like vitamins B and C are absorbed by diffusion. Vitamin B12 combined with intrinsic factor (from the stomach) is absorbed by active transport.
Of these iron is absorbed in the duodenum, most are absorbed in the jejunum and Vitamin B12 and bile salts are absorbed in the later part of the ileum.
Some of the disorders of the small intestine include:
